Will Ritter is reinstated; Cole Hicks out with knee injury

UTSA coach Larry Coker on Sunday said in a release that defensive end Will Ritter has been reinstated and will begin participating in team activities this week.

The announcement came after a team meeting as players reported to fall camp in UTSA’s third season.

Ritter was suspended indefinitely on July 15 following his arrest in Austin on misdemeanor charges of assault with injury and public intoxication.

Coker said any further discipline in the matter will be announced at a later date.

The coach also said that receiver Cole Hicks would not participate in the fall camp because of a knee injury and that redshirt freshman offensive tackle Alex Delgado would sit out the season with a shoulder injury.

According to the release, UTSA will have 103 players on the preaseason roster. Rules allow for 105 on preseason rosters.

The Roadrunners will go through 25 workouts in preparation for an Aug. 31 season opener at New Mexico.

A home opener against Oklahoma State is scheduled Sept. 7 at the Alamodome.
